On the island of Savai'i you can find Polynesia's largest ancient structure, the Pulemelei Mound.  This large pyramid measures 61 metres by 50 metres at the base and rises in two tiers to a height of more than 12 metres.  It is almost squarely oriented with the compass directionsŠ.  Smaller mounds and platforms are found in four directions away from the main structure.  There is a relatively large platform about 40 metres north of the main pyramid and connected to it by a stone walkway. Unfortunately the jungle there is almost uncontrollable. The pyramid has been cleared on several occasions, but the mound tends to get overgrown.
